The prime minister made these remarks while the ambassador of Kuwait to Bangladesh, Faisal Mutlaq Aladwani, paid her a courtesy visit this morning at her official Ganabhaban house. After the meeting, Ihsanul Karim, the PM’s press secretary, informed the media. The joint commission meeting between Kuwait and Bangladesh was also ordered by the prime minister to be held as soon as practicable.
The joint commission’s foreign minister level meeting will shortly be convened in Kuwait, the Kuwaiti ambassador informed the prime. During a private meeting with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session last year, Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah expressed interest in constructing a petroleum refinery in Bangladesh.
The prime minister said her government has already allocated a land for establishing the refinery. She thanked the Kuwaiti government for taking special care of Bangladesh military contingent and Bangladeshi expatriate workers. During the meeting, the premier said Bangladesh and Kuwait have special relations, adding, “Kuwaiti people are in the hearts of Bangladeshi people.”
She said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had established the relations of Kuwait and Bangladesh. She appreciated Kuwait’s support to Bangladesh’s development programme recalling Kuwait’s contribution to Bangladesh’s reserve in 1996 which was repaid later.
Bangladeshi workers in Kuwait, according to the prime minister, support the economies of both Bangladesh and Kuwait. She sent her greetings to Kuwait’s Amir. The ambassador for Kuwait declared that his nation would support Bangladesh’s development initiatives. Both the senior secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Md. Tofazzel Hossain Miah, and Ambassador-at-Large M Ziauddin were present.
